In the Morning the Usual ceremonies of presenta tion were gone through, with the usual accompani ments of applause and disapprobation. On the whole, hoWever, great good orthr prevailed, until it was announced that the presentations were closed, and the speeches were to commence. Then from every part of that thronged and illustrious assembly sprang up an universal call for Mr. Sheridan—" De ...gree, a degree for Itfr. Sheridan'!" tent• the air.— Mr-. Shertifan, who was ii an obscure seat at the bottom of the room, with his lovely Wife, itnrne diitely retired and left the Theatre. The restoration of order, however, appeared to become impossible, unless tho general wish was complied with ; the impossibility of that, without the necessary prelitni t . nanes, appeared to have been forgotten by -, the leaders of the clamour, who, so far from being young men desirous of a row,, had among their ra nks sage and renowned Divines, ' such as Doctors M::-r, 1).-=-r, C—e,:ikc. Sec. IThe result was,-that Mr. Sheridan, though he could not be regularly installed, should be requested to return and ass•ame his place on the Doctors' Bench. Accordingly Mr. Sheridan, after some pause, walked through the area, conducted by two of the Vellows of Christ Church, and; in his blue frock and round hat took his seat among the full-dressed and scarlet-robed Maass, amidst exulting peals of uni versal applause. Such a reception, by such an as semblage, combining in it so great a proportion of the honours, pride, wealth, learning, and loveliness of the nation, must have bestowed most flattering sensations in the mind of any man-who ever valued popular opinion. Still commotion continued among the young , ters, and the cry of " A Degree for Mr. Sheridan !" The Vice-Chancellor then rose, and in a very awful tone threatened. to dissolve the Convocation, unless order was observed, %is hick had the dean-4 effect. Mr. Sheridan was very much applauded on quitting the Theatre. , Verses recited in the Theatre, on Thursday last, July the 5, h, by Mr.' flnwt.sLEY, of Exeter Col and written by J. G.

When the intelligence of the French having passed the_Sierra Morena, and advanced to Cadiz, reached America, it was supposed 'that the contest was over, and that the,subjugation of Spain was complete, and therefore the inhabitants of the Caraccas determined to secure their own independ- Having learnt, however, from subsequent accounts, that the war was still carried on with great vigotir in Old Spain, they evinced a disposition to re-instate the foimer Government.

Exclusive of the foregoing summary of actual re trenchments in Establishnients; existing at the time of his accession to power, (and which tend to a di minution of influence, even more than to consider ations of public economy) effected by that truly pa triotic Minister, his Reforms and Economical Re gulations, in several branches of the National busi ness, were produ&ive of immense, and in many in stances of incalculable savings. These cannot be abstraCied to a regular numerical exposition. The prominent cases were his Reformed system, with res ped to Loans and Lotteries, Coutratis, Transport Service, Navy and Victualling Bills,, Ordnance De bentnlei, Secret Service Money, and Renewals of the Crown Leases. These interesting topics, as well as rmany subor dinate points, are treated of by the Right Honour able Author, and illustrated with a degree of accu racy and precision of which they were before not deemed susceptible. For those, we must. refer to the excellent work in question, and to the Extraas which we have already given. To attempt at con densation or abridgment, would be an injustice, end so far, a depreciation of the great and eminent pub lic services of that illustrious Statesman, so justly the object of the Author's applause. One of his most strik)ng and forcible remarks, ,however, we cannot avoid reiterating. Speaking of the Official Reforms and Economical Regulations of Mr. Pitt, the Author, referring more especially to the system of Loans, Lotteries, and Conira&s, observes, that t " tie, (Mr. Pitt) sacrificed an qfiuence as Minister, Much mot'3 dingerctis thati any poSscsr'eti by 016 Crown, because more secret and unobserved.—The extent of it, indeed, could be known only to him self and to those immediately in his Confidence,"— And adverting (ina Note) to the meinorab!e resolu tion of the Commons in MS, "that the influence of the Crown ought to be diminished," he'adds, '• se veral reforms in ()tilde were made in conseOuence of that vote ; but the means of . imperivptible and pr rot inluence were untouched till done a ay by Mr. Pitt." A consideration - which forms -tho-firiest pratlical eulogy that can be probOunced on the moral as well as political charaeter of a Statesman whose memory must live p - aong the highest; in: the'grati tude and veneration us the country ! • N AVA L• S PowrsmouTii, JULY 9.—Came in -yesterday ;l is Majesty's ship's Nile and Implacable ;;the former , from cruize, and the latter from Plymouth.
